Re: Selling Stock Photography zazzle

 

Hi Steve,

I've sold a few things from my Zazzle account. Starting in August of 2010 posting products, and stopping six months later because of other business, I've sold approximately $ 50.00 of merchandise.  I have close to 600 products posted. 

I've never tried selling pictures, outright.  Apparently it's an option, though.  I sell mainly postcards and my biggest sale was of snapping turtle stickers.  I've also sold a few iPhone covers. 

I did try selling stock photos from PhotoShelter but I didn't promote it so didn't have any success.  Plus, I don't think stock is my strong point.  I'm more of a magazine/illustrator/ article person. 

The good things about Zazzle are:  it's free.  you can set your own royalty.  if you are a halfway decent photog you will see some sales. 

The bad things about Zazzle are: the site is inundated with just plain junk.  okay, to be fair maybe someone will buy it, but the golden trinkets are hard to find buried under all the rubbish. 

I decided to use the site mainly as a hobby and to showcase my work, but I do think there might be potential there.  I recommend reading their forums and of course, deciding for yourself what is a good idea.  There is a LOT of BS in forums and everywhere else on the web. Personally, I don't like to put a lot of time into somethhing unless I know that it has a pretty good chance of it being a money maker for me because I freelance fulltime.

check out my site to see what you can do on Zazzle:

There are many options available for customizing, and many friendly Zazzlers.

Good luck to you and everyone else in this field!

Ellen

Hi there,

Has anyone here had any success selling pictures on Zazzle? Either zazzle.com or zazzle.co.uk

Cheers
